In the last 5 years there have been 14 rookie WRs who had at least 800 receiving yards.  Six of them had over 1000.  To some people that sounds like a lot.  But that is fewer than 3 per year for 32 teams.

Interesting fact.  Nine of the 14 were first round picks, and all were selected in the first three rounds.  So if you wait past the first round your chances of finding a WR who will contribute as a rookie get pretty thin.
